Wow. Cool to see it finally stickied. I'd also like to thank everyone who has contributed. Especially since I stopped updating it. It's really cool that you all have kept it going. I should really update the first post. It's pretty dated. Maybe I'll to that on my next day off.

Hey,

Ordered a DS Lite + R4, will DS Organize run on it?

Thanks.

I forgot to mention something. You should be aware of the fact that DS Organize (even the latest version) has a tendency to corrupt files and directories. Often requiring one to format their TF card. Use with caution and always have a current backup of your card on hand.

Anyone else using R4DS? I just got one for like ?20 and it works great! I'm looking for some decent skins... anyone know of any?

BTW, I haven't had time to mess around with it yet, but what is the last icon for on the main menu (I think this applies to both R4DS and M3 Simply devices aswell), I think it says Boot slot 2 or something? Is this for the GBA slot?

Most homebrew runs on the R4 to be honest, I haven't come across anything I use that needs a Slot-2 card yet, you just need to do something called a DLDI patch to the nds files sometimes. You do need a slot 2 for GBA games though if you're talking about backup images, I don't have a slot 2 though so someone else is best answering where to get one from.

I have an R4DS but what would be the best slot-2 device to run alongside my R4? And where could I buy one in the UK? I've heard good things about the M3 Lite... would that work with the R4DS? I'm not too knowledgeable about this DS homebrew business, but the R4DS works as a passme device?

I have an original DS btw.

The whole problem with the R4/M3 DS Simply was just temporary. Both cards came out at the end of 2006, and most of the homebrew hadn't been updated to this new DLDI system. Now most of them are updated, and the only one's that no longer function are the programs that were discontinued/no longer updated.

As for the limitations of Slot-1 solutions, the only real issues is a lack of GBA rom support. Also, discontinued GBA homebrew obviously wouldn't work with a DS card.

Well... thanks. I hope the author will fix it soon. It looks promising :)

I don't know what cart you are using, but someone posted a version of 0.3e over at GBAtemp. It worked on my R4 after I DLDI patched it.

      Did Labour lose big? They had losses there is no doubt. However let's look at the reality. The conservatives have 168 councils I believe. Labour have 113 and Reform...38. That's a lot of growth for Reform granted. But that is not a wipeout, Reform don't have the majoring in fact at 76 I believe the Liberal Democrats have nearly twice the councils Reform do. So I am thinking there is a lot more noise than signal going on here. Now then let's talk about the law. It's an age restriction. We do it for cigarettes, **** and alcohol. This idea that some kids will find there way around it so it's not worth even trying is really really sad. Hell we can't stop every murder. Should we stop trying there too? That is the logical conclusion.

      A game not selling doesn't mean the people working on it did "bad work". It reviewed decently well. It was also on gamepass on release.
